uplifting inspiration
isn't it pathetic that i somehow find the most uplifting and inspirational phrases on the caps of jones soda bottles ? honestly, there has never been one person in my life that has provided me with useful advice like those caps do . just today, i had a cream flavored soda (which are delicious by the way, a personal favorite of mine), and the cap read "keep expectations reasonable ." seriously, what is that ? why is it that i've been searching for a person to give me guidance and a few thought-provoking words, all the while never finding that person, and these soda caps happen to have it all ? everytime i read a new cap, i am left with a question that boggles my mind for days, maybe even weeks, and at the end of that period of time, i have a new view on life . those caps make me feel like someone is out there, that understands me . sure, it's some corporate company appealing to all the cynical folks like me, but it's not even just that . it's a general statement that helps people like me realize that a simple phrase can change an entire outlook . that a simple piece of metal can leave my mind racing for hours on end about things i never thought i had the energy to think about . it amazes me, and although one day, possibly very soon, i will be rushed to the hospital because of a sugar coma from drinking all of these, when i wake up, i will be a new person with one more thing to look forward to, and one more worry i can put to rest .
